We did some sightseeing in town over the long weekend. We have seen this ridge of hills since we arrived here but hadn't had a chance to investigate. We didn't have any idea where we had to go to climb them so just headed in the direction of the hills. We found the steps going up towards this monument easily.
There were nice steps all the way up the hill and the kids had some extra fun.
We managed to enjoy some moments of peace, between the small groups of people or couples climbing. If but for a few seconds, we could imagine being out in the country, in the woods. Oh, another funny thing. Couples like to wear identical t-shirts here and the men often carry their partner's purse. So I have to chuckle when I see a guy carrying a big shiny silver bag that absolutely does not go with his outfit.
Here I am whining something like "How much futher?"
Here I am, happier cause we're at the top of one of the hills AND there's ice cream inside.
Laundry
How do you do laundry when you can't read the instructions on the washing machine? or on the package of soap detergent?
Well, I've used my "new best friend", the electronic dictionary to translate the buttons on the washing machine. It's easier cause I have some idea what to expect but I can't imagine what it'd be like if I'd never used a washing machine before.
I wanted to buy some detergent for white clothes the other day. I recognize the character for white so I bought some Tide (because that's the only brand I recognized and the nice people at Tide have brainwashed me). It's gotta be good since there are these helpful pictures on the back too. Thank goodness for pictures. At least I have a chance to guess some meaning!
